Over the past few decades, RNA’s place in biology has transformed from being a mere intermediate between DNA and protein to a fascinating molecule with diverse activities that go well beyond simple ...
The ELAV protein binds to specific regions of the precursor RNA, namely to so-called reverse complementary sequences (RCMs) in the introns flanking the "backsplice junction" (BSJ) that is crucial for ...
New methods to shape RNA molecules into circles could lead to more effective and long-lasting therapies, shows a new study. The advance holds promise for a range of diseases, offering a more enduring ...
University of Delaware’s Mona Batish is a molecular biologist. She studies circular RNAs formed as a result of so-called molecular mistakes that occur when a strand of RNA — the ribonucleic acid that ...
Shown is the splicing pathway. The pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) has exons (blue) and introns (pink). The spliceosome (not shown) was known to catalyze two chemical reactions (black arrows) in a ...
New methods to shape RNA molecules into circles could lead to more effective and long-lasting therapies, shows a study by researchers at the University of California San Diego. The advance holds ...
RNA splicing is a cellular process that is critical for gene expression. After genes are copied from DNA into messenger RNA, portions of the RNA that don't code for proteins, called introns, are cut ...
Scientists have discovered that some tiny segments of RNA thought to be junk instead have a functional role in suppressing production of certain messenger RNAs and appear to help cells respond to ...
